Thanks to Craig McBride for this post. Training Tuesday Edition - 5 This week’s blog includes a series of short videos on using Oracle Ksplice with Oracle Linux 8. Oracle Ksplice allows you to install the latest kernel and key user-space security and bug fix updates while the system is running. You don’t need to coordinate with users to schedule system down time or stop running applications. This means with Ksplice you don’t need to reboot your systems to install kernel or...

Ksplice is a cool technology and I wanted to share a few things that you might not know about it along with a few tips on how to get started if you aren't already using it. 1. New patching advances As the security landscape evolves, so does Ksplice to keep up with more and more complex patches. These new changes and techniques allow Ksplice to safely patch even more of the kernel entry assembly code, even on heavily loaded systems. To date, Ksplice is the only technology...

Oracle Ksplice is a powerful tool that allows administrators to increase the speed of deployment of critical patches and helps eliminate downtime. The Ksplice enhanced client extends the ability of Ksplice to enable in-memory patching of critical user space libraries in Oracle Linux. The ability to patch these libraries in-memory without rebooting not only increases system security but also reduces costly system downtime. Recent exploits such as Heartbleed can be patched...

Ksplice is designed to work in many different computing environments. Because upgrading the kernel on any running system is a hassle, we want you to be able to deploy Ksplice as widely as possible. As a consequence of this, there are a number of ways to set up a Ksplice installation for your Oracle Linux infrastructure. As the first part of a series of articles on Ksplice best practices, we've published a guide to deploying Ksplice on the Oracle Technology Network. This guide...
